Participants

Reaction Steps

Using an analogous procedure to that described for the synthesis of (6Z,16Z)-12-((Z)-dec-4-enyl)docosa-6,16-dien-11-yl 6-(dimethylamino)hexanoate 11, (6Z,15Z)-11-((Z)-dec-4-enyl)henicosa-6,15-dien-10-yl 5-(dimethylamino)pentanoate 19 was obtained as a colorless oil (0.2 g, 24%) from 5.6 M dimethylamine in ethanol (10 mL) and (6Z,15Z)-11-((Z)-dec-4-enyl)henicosa-6,15-dien-10-ol 17 (0.35 g, 0.7 mmol). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 5.40-5.28 (m, 6H), 4.97-4.88 (m, 1H), 2.35-2.24 (m, 4H), 2.24-2.19 (m, 6H), 2.08-1.93 (m, 12H), 1.70-1.55 (m, 3H), 1.55-1.45 (m, 5H), 1.45-1.13 (m, 25H), 0.93-0.82 (m, 9H). Rf 0.4 (10% MeOH—CH2Cl2).
